Florida to Consider Ban on Cow Tipping
Skeptics say the "legendary country pastime" doesn't even exist, but that probably won't stop the Florida legislature from voting next session on a proposal that would outlaw cow tipping throughout the state. The bill, introduced by Sen. Dave Aronberg, reads as follows:
828.1211 Felling cattle.--A person who, for the purpose of practice, entertainment, or sport, intentionally fells, trips, or otherwise causes a cow to fall or lose its balance by means of roping, lassoing, dragging, or otherwise touching the tail of the cow commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083. As used in this section, "cow" means any animal of any registered breed of the genus Bos, or any recognized hybrid thereof.
